The Palestine government will have its own pavilion and exhibit at the Levant Fair this year, Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister, British Secretary of State for Colonies, told Barnett Janner, Jewish member of parliament, who questioned him on the subject.
Sir Philip stated that Palestine authorities are setting aside the sum of pound700 for the government exhibit, including the rent of the building provided by the Levant Fair officials. The Palestine government will also grant the same customs, communications and postal facilities, as were in force during the Levant Fair of 1932, he stated.
